    Reading The Writing On The Wall: Signs, Signals, And The Layoff Conversation | Exit To Excel Ep. 2

    Ever wonder how layoffs really happen behind closed doors? In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what I call “The Before”—the critical weeks and months of planning that unfold long before anyone hears those dreaded words in a conference room. I’ll walk you through the real layoff timeline, from executive decisions made in boardrooms to legal planning and manager training. You’ll hear what signs actually matter, how to tell the difference between mass layoffs and individual terminations, and what’s really going through your manager’s mind during that difficult conversation. I’m also sharing two personal stories—one where I was completely blindsided, and one where I saw the writing on the wall.We’ll also explore how to use the F48 Framework as a proactive tool when you start seeing the signs—not just as a recovery plan after the fact. Plus, I’ll reveal actual language from corporate layoff scripts and explain what your manager legally can’t tell you. Because when it comes to layoffs, knowledge isn’t just power—it’s protection.(00:00:00) - Intro(00:01:10) - #ASKLT Promo (00:04:02) - On Today's Episode (00:05:55) - Behind the Curtain - How Layoffs Are Really Planned (00:16:30) - Mass Layoffs vs. Individual Terminations(00:23:45) - Warning Signs That Actually Matter(00:40:10) - Inside the Layoff Conversation(00:54:00) - #ASKLT(00:57:20) - On Next Week's Episode #EXITTOEXCEL #LETONYASHAW #LaidOff #Layoffsexplained #InsideHR #humanresources #LayoffwarningSigns #CareerProtection #HRinsider #Jobsecurity #CareerResilience #JobLoss #JobNEws #Jobs SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@ExitToExcel SOCIAL MEDIA: -FOLLOW Exit To Excel on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@exittoexcel -FOLLOW Exit To Excel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exittoexcel/ AUDIO -LEAVE a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/exit-to-excel-podcast/id1818659967-STREAM on Spotify:Show Email: Exittoexcel@gmail.com
